Editors Comment:
No, before you ask the Xingyue L will not be the “next Proton model” and Proton will not be able to rebadge this in the near future.
Why? Because this Xingyue L is way too advanced to be a Proton – CMA platform, Drive-E engine and 5G connectivity. At the present moment, Proton is unable to support the production and aftersales of a vehicle of this calibre.
And you thought flying cars would be a reality? Let’s not kid ourselves.
